Therefore, after the Hedong Dudufu was established, in order to unify and coordinate the defense against Wei, Shangdang was incorporated into the defense zone of the Hedong Dudufu.

It is really helpless to say that Deng Zhi, a right-guard general, also served as the governor of the merged state.

Bingzhou looks big, but nearly half of the state was cut off by the Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion to the west. Yanmen County in the north would have been a no-man's land if it hadn't been for the Xinghanhui.

After the Hedong Dudufu was established, Shangdang was taken away.

Fortunately, the county of Bingzhou is Taiyuan County, which can be regarded as the core area of ​​Bingzhou, so no one dared to touch it.

In addition, although Deng Zhi was somewhat suspected of being obsessed with power, he was ultimately a steadfast and simple person who forgot about his family when he was in office.

Whether it is Yanmen County or Jiuyuan Governor's Mansion, as long as it can really develop, as the governor of Bingzhou, he will naturally take the credit.

So I'm not too dissatisfied.

Only when I heard about the incident with the Shangdang did I find it difficult to let go.

However, Deng Zhi had a strong and proud temperament, but on this matter, he met an even more proud, bad-tempered, and unwilling to reason with Old Man Wei.

In addition, this was the decision of the palace. No matter how hard it was to let go, Deng Zhi had no choice but to accept it in the end.

However, compared to Deng Zhi, Feng Duhu had even more anger dancing in his eyes at this time:

"What does Old Man Wei want to do by mobilizing the troops of the Hedong Governor's Mansion at this time?"

Zhiguanxing among the eight passes in Taihang is the most important pass from Hedong to Hanoi.

If you want to enter Hanoi from Shangdang, you have to pass the second of the eight passes: Taihang Pass.

Taihang Xingbei started from Gaodu (i.e. Jincheng in later generations).

Gaodu is the only city in Shangdang that is still in the hands of Wei.

When Wei Laofu attacked Shangdang, Jiang Ji wanted to guard the northern gate of Hanoi.

He did not hesitate to violate Wei's rules that the garrison was not allowed to cross the border at will, and sent troops north along Taihangxing to defend Gaodu.

Of course, there is also Sima Yi's suggestion here. Sima Yi probably made this suggestion at least partly because he did not want his hometown to be raided.

However, Jiang Ji's move was regarded by Cao Shuang of Xuchang as a move to seek refuge with Sima Yi, and in the end Jiang Ji was forced to join forces with Sima Yi.

As Hedong goes eastward and enters Shangdang, it happens to pass through Gaodu.

It can be said that Gaodu is the most important strategic intersection of the three places in Hedong, Hanoi and Shangdang.

Bai Qi controlled Zhiguanxing at that time, cutting off Zhao's route from Hanoi to supporting the Shangdang.

At the same time, troops were sent from Hedong to the east to attack and plunder Shangdang. The main forces of the two countries were locked in a stalemate in the area between Gaodu County and Xuushi County (later known as Gaoping).

In the end, Zhao was defeated and 400,000 people were killed in a trap. Zhao completely lost hope of competing with Qin for the world.

Feng Duhu had seen such an important strategic area countless times.

The Wei State controlled Gaodu, and the communication channel between Hedong and Shangdang was like a fish bone stuck in the throat.

Unless we take a detour and go north, first to Taiyuan County, and then from Taiyuan to Shangdang, the journey will be far.

Now that old man Wei had gone to Shangdang and asked Jiang Wei to lead the army eastward, Feng Duhu just glanced at the map and his eyes fell on Gaodu.

"Is the news from Hedong forwarded from Chang'an, or is it sent directly from Hedong?"

Feng Duhu stared at the map, and after a long time, he suddenly asked.

"Zhang Huishan sent it directly from Hedong."

Zhang Yuan, the chief of the Xiaowei Mansion, seems to have returned to the days when he followed the mountain chief as a staff officer.

"Who sent it here?"

"It's the Zhonglang General of Diannong, Hedong." Zhang Yuan licked his lips, "The Zhonglang General said that the Hedong Salt Lake is close to Zhiguan, and it happens to be an important place for supplying salt to Guanzhong and Bingzhou."

"He was worried that if there were not enough troops, the thieves would come out from Zhiguan to attack the Salt Lake, and the impact would be very bad, so he sent someone over to explain the situation."

After hearing this, Feng Duhu's face, which had been gloomy all the time, finally showed a slight smile.

"Shibao? He is very good. He is only serving as a general in charge of the training program, which is indeed a bit unfair to him."

Although Diannong Zhonglangjiang is mainly Diannong, he also has the character "general".

In particular, he, a general among the farmers, was also responsible for guarding the Hedong Salt Lake, which directly killed an important source of income that the Hedong family relied on.

It can be regarded as the fulfillment of the grand ambition set by the smugglers back then.

Although he was not qualified to dictate the deployment of troops by the Hedong Dudufu, he could vaguely remind Feng Duhu on the grounds that it would affect farming and salt affairs.

Feng Duhu threw the charcoal pen in his hand on the table and said:

"Send a message to General Zhengdong (Jiang Wei) and ask Wei Yan what he wants him to do."

The time has come to test Jiang Wei's stance.

According to the procedure, the Governor's Office should report it to Chang'an first, and Chang'an would then send someone to deliver it to Feng Duhu, who was out on patrol.

The unusual movement in the Hedong Dudu Mansion, where it is now is unknown.

It's hard to say that Old Man Wei just wanted to do something while Feng Duhu was away and couldn't get the news in time.

Not to mention that many people in the Han Dynasty have begun to despise Wei.

It is impossible to say that Old Man Wei's actions were supported by some people in Chang'an.

Yes, Wei Yan defeated Shangdang, you can use it to your advantage.

But don’t forget, Hedong is also the place where I, Feng, go fishing!
